Saw there was no bug related thread going on. Post and discuss al thins crawly. Other tiny critters welcome as well.
These guys are already back in my backyard, during summer it's usually full of them.
And I've also seen several queen bumblebees buzzing around on the lookout for a nesting spot, great to see them again. I hope a fit of late winter frost doesn't get them later this month.
Also discuss mothing or other insect related hobbies.I've just bult myself a skinner trap (pic not related), but I was wondering if anyone else has experience with them and what the 'ideal' opening in the middle is, can't seem to find this anywhere. Also what kind of setups do you use, looking especially for ideas for a mobile/battery powered setup.
I once found a moth on my boxers in the morning, he/she was inactive. I gently placed him in a lunch box with lint and some water in a bottle cap and let them sleep throughout the day. (The cap slit was wide enough for fresh air, but not wide enough to allow spiders to get in). At night they woke up, I carried them to a window. They gave me a little dance that I edited and then they flew away.
Went on the first hike of the year, and even though almost nothing was blooming yet I saw lots of yellow band underwings.>>5106267Neat, what kind of hawk moth is that?
